I am grateful to Lord Norton for leading me to this quotation from the late André Benard at the formal opening of the Channel Tunnel:
“The French have always been fascinated by theories from the Eastern Bloc; we are the last bastion of Marxist theory, where the citizens serve the state and the state serves itself. The tunnel acts as a liberalising counterbalance.”
Things have changed in France, but I wonder whether Corbyn and McDonnell harbour those aspirations.
